I am an evil giraffe. Who no longer blogs about politics.

It’s a Kickstarter to get some of the final digital rights for various images and video clips for Stripped (a documentary about the comics industry, and how it’s getting weird in the modern era). You may or may not care about that: but you probably do care that the documentary includes a voice-only interview with Bill Watterson.

Yes. The Bill Watterson, of Calvin & Hobbes fame. I gotta think about this one…

Unless they have Bill Watterson saying “I’m sorry,” I don’t think I would be interested in even SEEING this thing. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes. However Bill Watterson is a huge jerk when it comes to the fans of the comic. I wouldn’t go so far to say that there is a unique pit in Hell for Watterson, but honest Calvin and Hobbes’ fans will not line up to shake his hand in Heaven.

The thing I like about webcomics is that you are usually able to read from the beginning. Take Schlock for example, I started reading it because of Moe, now I am back in 2002 catching up on all the old story lines
